Nigerians may face a steep hike in petrol prices as the Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced it will suspend sales of petrol in naira. The development was disclosed in a customer notice circulated to journalists on Saturday. In the notice, signed by the Group Commercial Operations of Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals, the company stated that the suspension will take effect from Sunday, September 28, 2025, due to the depletion of its crude-for-naira allocation. Part of the notice read, “We write to inform you that Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has been selling petroleum products in excess of our Naira-Crude allocations and, consequently, we are unable to sustain PMS sales in Naira going forward. “Kindly note that this suspension of Naira sales for PMS will be effective from Sunday, 28th of September, 2025. We will provide further updates regarding the resumption of supply once the situation has been resolved. “All customers with PMS transactions in Naira who would like a refund of their current payments should formally request the processing of their refund.”
